Lizard people, bathroom spirits, reincarnation, flat earth, breatharianism, interdimensional travel, 9/11 as an inside job: these aren’t The X Files plot points, they’re potential realities says Arizona Senate LD3 candidate Robert Wallace.
I’m at a loss of words for the new AZ Freedom Caucus recruit.
I always want to do my due diligence and give someone a chance. So do we all hit up Taco Bell to see if we can experience bathroom spirits? https://t.co/oYujM0Zafq— Matt Greer (@MattRealest8) May 16, 2026
The Turning Point Action regional manager, who made an unsuccessful run for Fountain Hills Town Council in 2024, said in an AZ Clean Elections debate this week that he takes a “spiritual-scientific approach” to all the theories out there. Some things appear to have rung true with Wallace: he has claimed to be the reincarnation of a black gangbanger.
“These things are becoming mainstream and this is what I mean when I say we have people who are old-fashioned in this new age. We need to be forward looking, we need to be ahead of the curve. There are spiritual realities affecting life. That’s just a fact, for me, and for a lot of people,” said Wallace. “We do this whole tinfoil hat skewering of people, to stigmatize these subjects that nobody talks about it. I’m not having that. I’ve had many, many different profound spiritual experiences in my life and that is really tied to my whole spiritual quest to the kingdom of Heaven.”
Despite these unique perspectives, Wallace identifies as a Christian. His religious exploration included Scientology, Seventh-Day Adventism, and Messianic Judaism.
Wallace is gunning to take down longtime legislator, Senate Majority Leader John Kavanagh. The two have parried jabs with their dualing websites, “Stop Kavanagh” and “Weird Wallace.”
“Stop Kavanagh” reviewed Kavanagh’s decades-long track record in government, featuring some controversial moments in the lawmakers history like the 2022 bill which nearly criminalized filming police up close until a federal judge struck it down.
“Weird Wallace” dredged up Wallace’s esoteric and cryptid beliefs posted across social media — which includes “breatharianism,” the belief that individuals can survive on air, water, and sunlight for sustenance — along with his history of making and consuming the psychedelic drug DMT.
Wallace did deny certain charges by Kavanagh, like that he was antisemitic.
It’s not all cryptids and conspiracy theories for the former Gays Against Groomers state chapter lead and podcast host, though.
Wallace moved to Arizona five years ago, during COVID-19 pandemic. He worked in the Kari Lake gubernatorial campaign and joined the Log Cabin Republicans.
Shout-out to @hankdeanlight, the election cycle's most stoic debate moderator – couldn't tell if he was enjoying it or wanting to jump off a building. @ArizonaAgendahttps://t.co/AqRP2kITx9

Wallace is campaigning on a platform of some red-meat Republican pointers — voter ID, parental rights in education, school choice funding, school LGBTQ+ ideology bans, and medical freedom — although he doesn’t believe the federal government should have total say in where they establish immigration detention facilities.
As part of those campaign promises, Wallace pledged to block new bonds lacking strict end dates and built-in public transparency measures, push pay-as-you-go funding for capital projects, cut waste before requiring more of taxpayers, audit all existing bond debt, and introduce a bill to require every debt increase be posted publicly with an explanation.
